You have a ~15-20% chance of beating someone 100 points higher than you. And you have about a 2% chance of beating someone who's 200 points higher than you. The odds of beating someone 250-300 points above you or higher are extremely slim and a statistical anomaly. However, players who are rapidly improving are likely to cause huge upsets as their ratings will be lower than their true playing standards. That means all of what I just mentioned only applies when the ratings actually indicate the players' true playing standards.

great video. I dont do tournament's but playing pretty ok level daily and was curious about this. good to know. Also a chess player so this made it easier as well.
I topped at 2226 rating (not USATT, nor German TTR system), and work as a coach currently. I’ll start studying this next summer, so I won’t be full time by then, but will keep working with my players part time 🤞 Great video!
@loeeeloeee how do you edit your videos? In your VoD review video could you recommend the best app/software to trim videos quickly and maybe pin it in comments?
For really simple stuff like quickly cutting and trimming I use windows live movie maker. You can't get it here - web.archive.org/web/20170112124505/http:/wl.dlservice.microsoft.com/download/C/1/B/C1BA42D6-6A50-4A4A-90E5-FA9347E9360C/en/wlsetup-all.exe and when you go to install just unselect everything except for movie maker. For more advanced stuff I use Sony Vegas Pro which has a bit of a learning curve but is much more powerful and not too difficult to use once you're used to it.

Didn’t you do a video on this years ago. If you did I can’t find it now
Yes I did haha. It was a bit of a jumbled mess so this serves as a replacement, and I have made the old video private.
@@Looeelooee Ok thanks for the clarification. Nice informative video and keep up the great content
@@taureanlloyd925 No problem!
great video. I dont do tournament's but playing pretty ok level daily and was curious about this. good to know. Also a chess player so this made it easier as well.
One thing worth mentioning/explaining would have been how Elo/TTR/USATT differences between you and your opponent translate to winning probabilities
Will add to description / pinned comment later today!
Description edited and have also edited pinned comment.
